PLEASE share your experience with us. I've spent 3 winters with summer tires on my underpowered civic. I'm always interested in the personal experiences that others share. |
Easy you're being blatantly irresponsible.
In the unfortunate event that you are involved in an accident on summer tires during temperatures or conditions they are clearly not designed for I hope you're held accountable as being negligent.
Summer tires are always noted by their manufacturers in regards to their operating temperature.
A personal experience, don't worry I didn't forget about that.
A tractor-trailer ran a red light in front (perpendicular) of me when I was on my MPSS's... even with all The safety features of my M235 (back in 2014) it did not allow me to stop in time. I was about 2 feet too long in stopping. It was an early cold snap in September... unusual for the area I was in.
Had I had my winter tires on I would've stopped in plenty of time.
They are called SUMMER tires for a reason.
